(biotic, abiotic, photocatalytic degradation) in the second part for early prediction of
risk and management purposes. Simultaneously, the present book also explores the
human health perspectives of CECs, health risk assessment study along with case
studies on sociological approaches. I hope this book will establish a road map for
explaining in details the multifaceted application of biotic (bioreactor, anammox,
etc.), abiotic (photocatalysis, ozonization, etc.) and natural removal system
(constructed wetland) to be considered as effective treatment techniques for the
emerging contaminants in the environment. I congratulate all the editors of the
chapters for putting up a great work together.
